Default Geneva Motor Show

Last week I went to Geneva for the Motor show. I've wanted to go for years, but this is the first time I've actually made it there. It has to be one of, if not the best show in the world. Makes the UK show look awful! Anyone who is a keen car enthusiast should make the effort one year - you won't be disappointed.

I took about 160 photos, but I've tried to select some of the best to post here. Dialup users beware!

Cars from some of the major tuning companies:

Two stunning new Alfas:

Fantastic pics Paul.

The Zonda really does suit you. I'd settle for the 430. I'm not greedy

I like the new Jag, or is it just the colour
I love the Lambos too, some cars just look gorgeous in white. They are excellent pictures and it doesn't look too crowded either, I might have to go next year
